AA Meetings in Canada
Canada has one of the world's largest AA communities, active since the 1940s, with more than 5,000 meetings running weekly across every province and territory. Meetings are coordinated by intergroups and central offices in each major city.
Meetings run in English across the country and in French throughout Quebec and francophone communities. Every format is available: open and closed discussion, Big Book study, step meetings, men's and women's groups, and a strong online meeting culture connecting rural and northern communities.
Finding English-Speaking Meetings
Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa, and Halifax run daily English-speaking meetings; Montreal and Quebec City offer both French and English groups. Check each province page for city-by-city listings.
